Simulation Files and tutorial PDF

 

This tutorial details the set-up of a simulation and covers the following EDEM functions:

  • Creation of Particle and Geometry materials
  • Creation of Particles with a User Defined Size distribution
  • Creation of a MultiSphere Particle Prototype. The multi-sphere particle shape is defined using particle CAD templates, which can be imported to EDEM and manually filled with spherical particles
  • Use Conveyor Kinematics, which provides movement and acceleration of the conveyor belt. 
  • Creation of bin groups in the Analyst to analyze particles and their properties in specified regions
  • Export of simulation data to a .csv (text) file
  • Choosing Simulator Engine
